Outbound MBM Status

Use this process step to send EC status in M3 database table "CBMSTA" back to M3 for outbound messages.

You can use this in regular processing, or for error handling process, on an Agreement level. For pre-detection level error handling, use the Retrieve MBM Identifier process before calling the Outbound MBM Status process.

  • When EC updates MBM message UUID, the EC UUID is translated to an M3 ID.

  • When a status is called, EC checks for the original M3 UUID.

Outbound MBM Status

  1. Click the Processes tab. Right-click on a blank space in the Selected processes pane, select Outbound MBM Status.

    The Configuration for Outbound MBM Status window is displayed.

  2. Specify this information:
    API Reference

    Select an API reference that corresponds to the M3 environment that sent the MBM initiator.

    setOutboundMBMStatus

    addOutboundMBMLog

    NOK Handling

    If you want the agreement processing to continue, even when EC cannot update the message status in M3, you must set "NOK handling" to "NOK = Ignore"

    Status

    Specify a numeric value that is > 20 and <= 90. For example "2". For example, 78

    Message

    Optionally, type a brief message for this status. For example, type alpha 78.

  3. Click OK.

For example:

In the message field, if you typed: Agreement=cmn:agreement

Then, the manifest that will be inserted into the text will be: Agreement=partsOrderSub-14.1

Then, the message will be truncated at 78 characters.

Note: 

If the manifest item mvx:mbmIdentifier does not exist, or is blank, the Outbound MBM Status process will not do anything.
